Heath POV
I held up the Vulpix morph by his fur and began talking, everyone was looking at him like he was crazy "Were not going to hurt you we just want to know who you are." I said as, my weird smile was on my face.
He looked nervouse he turned his head to look at the trees, but nothing was there "Im Alsadair please we dont mean any harm." He said as, tears welled up in his eyes I noticed he said we.
"Who is this we?" I asked as, my Red eyes stared into his soul it made him shudder for some reason I actually loved to see people shudder unlike when I was normal I guess its because of my Gengar genes.
"Well its me and my friend their is this weird morph following us because we ate some of his food were really hungry sorry for stealing your food." Alsadair said as, their were rustling in the trees.
"Come on out Sail." Alsadair said as, his friend emerged from the had short black spiky hair, and a Seviper tail, and gold mark she was wearing make up to hide her scales I knew, because well lets just say being a Gengar morph has its perks.
"Well look what we have here I command the Gengar morph to go to the bushes." Sail said, with a stern voice.
"Yes sir." I said as, I quickly rushed over to the bush she was scary in every aspect.
Sail seemed pleased and so I just stayed put "Now we would like for you to give us your food." Sail said.
"We cant give you our food its all we got." Chris said as, Sail suddenly got tense.
She was backing away slowly "Alright I wont steal your food dont hurt me." She said as, Chris seemed really confused.
"Whats the matter,Sail?" Chris asked
"Your a ground type your going to hurt me." Sail said as, she quickly curled up into a ball.
Chris was confused still, and began speaking"What make you th-" "I finally found you,you little bastards." A morph said as, he kicked Alsadair to the side.
He was just about to kill Alsadair until he saw me "Lets play some games." The guy was clearly still young about 15, his hair was short azure colored with bangs he had a not very noticeable crown on his head and a quagsire tail his feet were that of an Empoleon I didnt understand how could he be two morphs.
Chris POV
You could see everyones faces were hidden trying not to make contact"I will take care of him." Erich said as, he charged up a flamethrower.
"Thats no fair Erich I want to play the game first." Heath begged, I really dont think Heath understood what the morph ment by games.
"Well better him then me." Erich said as, Heath thanked him and ran infront of the morph.
"Its kind of odd that you want to play games, but I love them so lets get started." Heath said as, the morph just chuckled.
"Okay the game is whoever knocks out who wins." The morph said, his big brown eyes surveying the area.
Heath seemed excited "Okay mister I will go easy on you." Heath said, he looked like he really thought it was a game we had to let him battle the morph because we were all weak to him except Heath, and Dylan and lets face it Dylan is a new morph he wouldnt be able to handle it.
"Hydro cannon." Ther morph said, we were all in shock their was no way Heath could survive that, but we were all wrong.
Heath narowly doged the attack, and laughed "Shadow punch." Heath said, his purple hands turned black and he started beating the guy up he wouldnt even stop to breathe."Kid what are you doing?" The morph asked in short breaths, Heath gave one last blow and the morph fainted.
Heath looked confused "You okay mister I thought for sure you would win I guess you let me win." Heath said, we all stared in awe how was he that powerful I was a weakling, I was barley able to hold my own and here comes this boy who can knock out a six foot morph when he is barley five feet himself.
Heath looked over the morph carefully "Mister,he must be sleeping I guess since its late he decided to go to bed." Heath said as, he sat down next to Dylan again.
"Heath are you feeling okay?" Erich asked, with his mouth wide open.
"Yeah I guess, can we continue with the story telling now?" Heath asked, Alsadair and Sail came up to him.
"Thank you can we please stay with you?" Alsadair asked.
"Sure Dair is it okay if I call you Dair?" Heath asked as, Alsadair nodded.
Erich looked like he was going to explode"Wait dont I get a say in this?" Erich asked as, he sat down and crossed his arms.
"Nope and its only for a short while." Heath said as, Alsadair thanked him and sat down next to Inferno.
Erich rolled his eyes he wanted to kick Heath so badly, but then he rembered Heath beat up a morph ten times stronger then Erich himslef so he backed down.I looked over to see Sail she was hiding behind a rock I quickly noticed her.
"Sail you can join us!" I yelled, she looked shocked, but grateful and sat down next to Heath.
"Now Lydia you have to continue to tell us how you turned into morph." Heath stated
Lydia POV
I wasnt so sure about contnuing I was hoping that they wouldnt notice after the event, but I guess I underestimated them.I looked up at the starry sky it was so beutiful I then saw a huge bright star I rembered when Me and, nevermind.
"Well Okay I guess I could continue." I began.
Begining of Flashback
I began to speak"See mom I dont need a lif-" I couldnt finish my sentance I was knocked out unconscious and was carried out to sea.
I woke up in what seemed to be a fishing net like one of the ones you see them capturing remoraids or feebas in, I looked around the huge ocean it was like a million gallons of neverending water, but it was beutiful.I quickly fumbled to try and get out of the fishing net it was hard, but I managed to get out.
"Great now all I got to do is,what the hell im in a boat." I yelled, I began pounding on the glass that was separating me from the ocean.
I heard some footsteps "Pounding on the glass little girl isnt going to make a diffrence." The guy said, he looked like he was a scientist, but I wasnt sure.
"What the hell do you know?" I asked as, I countinued to pound on the glass.
The Scientist chuckled "Watch your mouth little girl." The scientist said, grabbing me by my hair and bringing my eyes to his.
"What the hell is wrong with you buster?" I asked, kicking my legs trying to get away.
He set me down and patted my head "Do you know were your parents are?" The scientist asked
I put a lot of thought into it, but I really didnt know "No I dont remeber." I said, crossing my arms.
"Perfect come wtih me." The Scietist said as, his white lab coat moved slightly due to the wind.
End of Flashback
Heath POV
"They tricked me now look at me im a freak." Lydia said as, she began crying.
"Its okay we are all freaks." Alsadair pointed out as, he began chewing on a bone that was left over from this mornings forge.
I stared at Alsadair for quite some time their was something weird about me if I stared at someone long enough I could read their thoughts and this is what Alsadair was thinking."These people are so nice I wonder why the dude with Typhlosion friend is acting weird maybe he is gay." Alsadair thought, I choked a laugh.
"Well I guess thats to bad." I said as, Alsadair began crying.
"What a sad story." Alsadair cried
I began thinking he was getting a little anoying, but I just ignored I looked over at my friends they were starring at me.
"Whats the matter?" I asked as, Erich gave me a glare.
"Its your turn to tell your damn story." Erich said, making a fist.
"Yeah, but I won the game so its your turn Erich." I said as, Erich just sighed.
Erich POV
The night would have been decent if it wasnt for Heath, I looked up at the stars then I looked at Inferno he nodded I was a little scared of telling them, but Inferno gave me the okay.
"Well it was a night just like this..." I began
Begining of Flashback
I was walking back from the cinema, and images of the film still echoed through my head. "Damn, that was a one freaking movie. Wish they made more of such actions." I thought to myself while walking along the dark streets of Goldenrod city. It was quite late actually and I didn't ask my parent's permission. It was going to be a hard night.
I shivered a little from this thought. "If I get lucky, I'll be left without allowance for a week, but if..." I didn't dare to imagine the worst. In such cases I usually just try to think about something bright and relaxing. My latest I-pod made much of this work for me. This case didn't differ much from the others so I buried my hands in the pockets of the jacket. It was early spring and it still was quite frosty so I decided to return my hands in the warm place of my pockets just as I put my earplugs and turn the music. A heavy flow of music enveloped my mind and I continued my way home in a much lighter mood. I looked at the evening star ocean sky. I sometimes wondered to myself how some simple things which have been taken for granted can be so beautiful and yet so far from understanding.
The cloudless sky proved my guesses. I walked along the street completely unaware that I wasn't alone and gazed at all that star masterpiece. "I wonder how did all stars know how to form Charles's Wain or Archer?" A sudden wind or so I thought stirred my jacket's sleeve on the right arm. I lifted my left hand out of pocket to clear my right sleeve still peering at the sky. The music played loud and nothing could bother me at that second. "Brr, it's really cold, huh what's that?" My left hand felt a small metal object poking out of my right sleeve. I turned my lazy sight from the sky back on earth and froze in horror. A tranquilizer stung my right arm and as I tried to touch it a stinging pain ran through my arm up to my spine. "What the..." I've rendered speechless as my head began spinning.
" Dammit! I hope it's only a hypnotic..." However it was still far from normal situation. The world around me faded and turned into an ocean of colors and blinks. I could feel as I've lost my balance and feel on knees. The ground like a magnet pulled my head to the asphalt pavement but before the darkness completely swallowed me I saw shapes moving toward me.
"... what the hell was that ..."
I barely focused my mind and remembered that peaceful night and how I mixed up being hit with tranquilizer for a blow of wind but everything was all fuzzy. I tried to move my arm but I couldn't. Now was not a very good moment for panic, though any other person would have obviously opened eyes and faced the situation and shouted like crazy, but not me, not without a small analysis. I knew if I've been stung with a Seviper poison I would be dead already. Now, it doesn't look that I'm dead, I just can't face death yet. All right, let us see by ourselves..."
I opened my eyes and was momentally dazzled by a harsh light. I winced at first, but then opened my eyes slowly again. I was staring at a large blank concrete room. I turned my sore neck and saw that my arm was bounded by some metallic bindings on a metal table. I quickly turned to my other arm and saw another binding. Strangely the color of my skin was a little more yellow then I remembered and my fingers looked smaller too. "What happened t me?" I tried to move my legs, but they too were bounded. I realized I was on a large metallic table. Strangely my upper clothes were also gone and should have felt the frost of the steel, but it seemed just as if some furry blanket separated my back from the table.
"Just great, now I' m going to be sold on organs." Such idea came to me but soon vanished as fast as it introduced itself. The real world came to its place. "What is this place ? It definitely doesn't look like a hospital room." I quickly swept eyes over the room and noticed a small camera installed into the ceiling. My next thought was. "I should get their attention."
"H-hey?" I asked sheepishly.
However just as I said a word an alarm sound cut through the air. "Was it only for saying a word? Just how worse can it go?" A second later I wished I hadn't said that. A tremor just like during the earthquake ran through the building. The light in my room blinked for a second and continued flashing. Now a real fear ran through my body.
"Hey! Let me out now! I'm just a kid!"
A second tremor which now was accompanied by a rumble shook the facility again. Strange but I thought that I wouldn't hear a fly through such walls; even the only room door itself looked like the one in banks from cash vaults which completely was sound proof with a small bulletproof window.
This time large surgery lamps blinked several times and then faded, enveloping the room in the darkness. I was about to give up and shout but gust in time I've heard a click a sound which soothed my heart. I freely moved my arms and legs and in a total darkness when a third explosion shrieked through the building.
"Time to get out of here." I tried to get up from the table but just in my attempt I felt a sharp wave of pain through my spine and back. I released a loud scream as every inch of my back felt like it was on fire. A sensation struck my mind when I noticed that there was a some kind of light behind me in a dark room.
"You gotta be kidding me!" A light actually was coming from my back in a form of fire with spiky flames. To my total astonishment the pain slowly subsided and the fear soon changed to the sensation. I turned my head and noticed that my back was covered in a black fur. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to observe myself as a facility now suffered another bunch of explosion. One of them happened quite near to my room or cell, or whatever it was that I even fell from the table on my own.
As I began recovering from an impact a new wave of pain burned through my lungs. I nearly didn't dare to breath or even cry; so painful it was. But eventually I began coughing and the pain slowly died down too just like before. Another surprise came to me when after the last cough a smoke came out. A saw as a small black cloud dissolved in the air. "Hm, I'm actually beginning to like that". I smirked to my self, only to be met by another fateful surprise. I heard footsteps, which running across the corridor which was just outside my cell. I've heard one man' s voice."We must evacuate them now until they get to them!" and another three or four ones which responded. "Yes, sir!"
"I wonder who are they talking about?" I didn't have to wait long for an answer. Several heads wearing night goggles looked in the door window of my cell. I've heard a bipping as if someone was typing something on the computer. A door hissed and slowly slid into the room revealing several men wearing futuristic body armor and handing what looked like advanced XM-8 carbine rifles.
In that moment I've lost any logical explanation for the last hours of my life. First I've got kidnapped, then I got transformed into something between pokemon and human and now the same people want to rescue me? Two of these soldiers ran and grabbed me under my arms. I've groaned as I felt nearly every muscle in my new body ache. The situation only got worse once they've carried me out in the corridor. A clear rattle of gunfire and a whistling sound of dropping shells now added to explosions which now ran through the facility nearly every five seconds. "Yeah, this world is definitely turning to hell."
I've focused the remnants of my attention to my "saviors". Apparently what looked like their commander gave them next orders. "Proceed to the cell XA-053. We have to evacuate them both at least." All other three men nodded with the reply: "Yes sir" and moved with me along the corridor which we were traversing.
At least there was some light still in this section of the building which gave me an opportunity to discern soldiers who carried me. On one of them I've made out a strange insignia attached to the soldier's armor on just the right shoulder. I've never seen such emblem before, not like a team Rocket or a new Galactic group. A snake with two spiky ears ate its own tail. "Whoever are they, they look much more professional than Rockets..." I didn't finish my thought. Suddenly in just a few meters in front of us a sudden light blinded my sight. I've closed my eyes hurriedly but moment later a dreadful boom filled my ears; I've tried to shut them when an explosion blast threw us back through a corridor. The memories of my short life flashed though my head as if I never was going to see them again. "Is it how all it ends? No! I choose to live!" It seemed like an Arceus itself heard my wish. Ambient noises rushed into my ears. I hastened to open my eyes only to see a picture which nearly let me regret my last thoughts.
Two of four soldiers laid next to me, puddles of blood surrounded their motionless bodies I've drew my sight away from this horrific scene. I knew that these images of these lifeless soldiers staring at me through their masks would stay in my memories for a long time.
I've checked my body and discovered that I completely had no injuries. I couldn't even find a single burn which gave me chills as I thought about those two soldiers who carried me and the other two who led our way. An explosion killed them instantly but I was completely injure-less; even on the contrary the heat wave of the blast gave me some energy. It was quite surprising when I got up quite easily. From all remaining clothes only my pants were still intact. Even my shoes have been badly burnt. It didn't bother me much now but I still needed to face the facts and look for a solution once I escape from this hell hole and find civilization. Speaking of my escape, I remembered that there probably was someone else who needed rescuing. I won't be afraid to say that running through a burning corridor in a nearly contusion state was madness, but I felt as if all flames surrounding me gave strength.
Continuing my search I've finally stumbled upon a similar vault door my cell had. I've glanced inside a small window and I've nearly lost me breath. A wild Typhlosion was sitting in a furthest corner of the room; his fur erupted in flames so anyone could see him being in the room.
Typhlosion's glare slowly stopped on the window and out sights met. I can't explain but I felt as if someone was rooting in my head.
"The password to the door is ka6837..." I've shook my head in astonishment. "What was that? ...a telepathy?" As a confirmation Typhlosion nodded his head with a stern look on his face.
"Besides we can speak to each other, dummy! And I'll show you something else when you let me outa here!" A voice boomed in my head and I rebounded from the door. My senses got back to me now much faster. The explosion pokemon was now standing just next to the door wearing a smart smile.
I've noticed a small keyboard panel next to the door with a display. I've entered the code and the door began opening with a crackling sound. Just when the was a large gap Typhlosion rushed through the hole into the corridor and pushed me against the wall.
"What was that for you, jerk? "You must be Erich then." The pokemon said observing me from legs to head. "They did actually a good work finding a buddy for me."
"What the..." I've roared but Typhlosion interrupted me with a sign to be quiet. "First escape, then all questions." He said calmly grabbing my hand and beginning to lead me through a burning corridor in an opposite direction...
End of Flashback
Heath POV
I was a little confused "So you were basicly created so you could be friend to Inferno?" I asked.
Inferno gave me a nod "Yup he has been my buddy ever scince." Inferno said, grabbing Erich and giving him a noogie.
Erich sighed "Yup im afraid so their was this one girl however she changed my life she was my best friend and my first love." Erich said, with love in his eyes.
"I thought you were gay." Alsadair said as, Erich looked like he was about to choke him.
"Why dose everyone I meet think im gay." Erich said, banging his head into the log he was sitting at.
"Maybe because you have that feminin touch." Alsadair laughed.
"Yeah I thought you were gay to." I said as, I my eyes grew weary I couldnt stay up much longer it didnt help that the fire felt so warm I quickly reflected on this and fell asleep.
Alsadair POV
I was happy that I got to enjoy this night "Hey now its your turn Heath." Erich said as, he looked down.
I looked down to, but all I saw was Heath lying there asleep with a one of his fingers in his mouth Erichs back started to flame up.
"Why the hell are you asleep?" Erich said as, the fire on his back started raging wildly.
I quickly thought of an idea "Calm down Erich I want to tell my story." I said as, Erich cooled off and sat down with crossed arms.
Everyone began starring at me I really didnt know why, but their was a reason so I ignored it and began speaking as my red tail moved ever so slightly in the wind "It was a very horrible night." I started
Beggining of Flashback
"This is a rocking party Al." One of my friends said, he was drunk and idiotic like most of my friends.
I knew that I was only 13 and, so were most of my friends, but I didnt dare drink beer for one it tasted awful and second I didnt want to get drunk like my brother use to all of sudden my pants started vibrating I was getting a call.
"Wait one moment Ben I need to take this call." I said as, I walked outside of my friends house.
I looked down at my cellphone to check the number "Stupid parents I wish I could just run away." I muttered as, I answered the call.
"Alsadair we need you to come home now why didnt you tell me that, learning is cool place didnt close." My mother yelled, I choked a laugh she was under the impression that I went to the libary or made up places that taught learning.
"I will be there in a few minutes ma." I said as, I hung up.
I looked at my friends house I decided to just leave instead of hanging around there his mother would come home in a few hours, and I didnt want to help clean up the mess.I began walking home as I did I thought about My home it was much cleaner and tidy my mom was a neat freak and now that my brother,Cody moved out it was probably the cleanest house on the block or world it was probably one of the things I loved most about my house I didnt have to pick up my action figures or my clothes for that matter.
I then stopped walking there was an ally way I knew there was a short cut to my house by taking it, but one of the most vicious gangs hung out there I looked at my watch it was almost midnight so I decided to take that way. I carefully walked onto the ally way, but then I felt a sudden tug on my shirt.
"Your fucked kid." I heard a voice say, but I just couldnt see the guy, because in that itstant I was hit with a baseball bat and got knocked out.
When I awoke I was in some sort of tube fillied with water their was a pipe going down my throat .I looked around there were scientist everywere they were all looking at my tank I could hear them talking.
"We seemed to have fixed the error and got the morph to learn psycic however he will be slitghtly weaker." One of the scientist said
"I dont give a crap so long as we can get them to learn moves that normal Pokemon or humans cant learn." Another scientist said, I couldnt hear the rest of the conversation I just blacked out.
End of Flashback
"Wow I feel sorry for you kid." Erich said as, we both looked around.
All of our friends were asleep "Why the hell is everyone going to bed?" Erich asked, I could tell his eyes were getting weary and he seemed to not be able to fire up his back and with that we both fell asleep.
